I'm using python and pygame with my students too. There are other
python and pygame experiences, but I like this model with C# and XNA:

They use a problem-solution methodology based on starter kits, where
studens have to detect and change some parts of code.  Maybe we can
prepare a similar path with pygame. I use this introduction to C# in
my classes too, giving it 40 hours more or less.
